Snack Board Ideas

The best part about snack boards is that they are 100% customizable. You can literally add anything and everything you like.

  • Sandwiches – cut them into shapes with a cookie cutter
  • Fresh fruit – use berries, sliced apples, clementines, watermelon slices
  • Cheese – good choices for kids are American, gouda, mild cheddar, cheddar jack
  • Bite-Sized cookies and crackers– buy individual-sized bags of different types of cookies and crackers or use what you have in the pantry
  • Popcorn – kids love popcorn and I always have some in my pantry
  • Nuts – use whatever type of nuts your kids like. If they have nut allergies, do not use nuts
  • Chicken nuggets, mini hotdogs, sausage slices
  • Chips and Dip
  • Fresh veggies – carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli

How to Make Kid-Friendly Sandwiches

  1. Use seasonal or shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes for sandwiches.
  2. I made peanut butter and jelly and ham and cheese sandwiches.
  3. For the PBJ, use a circle cookie cutter and add googly eyes by using a toothpick and a little bit of peanut butter added to the back of the eyes to act like glue and stick to the bread.
  4. For the ham and cheese sandwich, use a square cookie cutter and then cut the sandwich diagonally. Top them with star-shaped cheese slices which are cut using a star-shaped cookie cutter. Use the same method to stick the stars to the sandwiches using mayonnaise instead of peanut butter as the “glue”.

Let’s Assemble the After-School Snack Board

  1. Line a small board or serving tray with parchment paper.
  2. Place the sandwiches on the board.
  3. Add small ingredients to small bowels and place them between the sandwiches.
